Quartz (Var: Smoky Quartz)
Hiddenite, Alexander Co., North Carolina, USA
Cabinet, 14.0 x 11.0 x 9.6 cm
SOLD
A huge, important, floater smoky quartz crystal from the classic old North Carolina mines, and later the Ed David Collection. Morion quartz is a very dark brown to black opaque variety of quartz and this is, indeed, an exceptionally dark color for this locality. This is a superb, cabinet single crystal. The glassy, highly lustrous, translucent crystal superficially looks like it is di-pyramidal with no prism faces. This is old material from the famous Hiddenite area of North Carolina. This very fine, large, complete-all-around, floater specimen is very nearly pristine.
